I have taken a few other members and even Kev from Revo - they all commented how well it felt and expected it to be worse but it wasnt the case.

hi neg , have you got any pics of your car mate apart from the ones on your sig ?

cheers mate ,looking good !!  how many mm did the set up you have lower it ?  i m not sure if the gti and the edition 30 have the same ride height as standard, i was led to believe the ed30 was 15 mm lower than a gti to start out ?? :undecided:
this is standard apart from 10 mm rear wheel spacers

GTI and Ed30 have identicle suspension from factory which is lower than the normal golf by approx 15mm

I think it was about 20mm by the end of it, enough to look better but not cause any problems, have had a full load and get no rubbing etc - bear in mind I am runnign 19's you will be even better with 18's

....The Ed30 and GTI have the same ride height and that is 15 mm(?) lower than the standard Mk5 Golf. I don't know what the GT ride height is.

H&R, I was going for Eibach but it was when there were production issues with the rear springs so after a lot of research I opted for the other popular choice which was H&R - probably more popular over in the states which is where I got most the info from.
